A fore and aft queen size berth in the forward cabin allows plenty of room on each side to make up the berth, as well as to access the signature CABO rod storage cabinetry with cross hatch ventilation panels. The galley and full head with shower feature Corian countertops with custom sea-rails and Moen fixtures. Guests will appreciate the comfortable extra large settee on the salon's port side.  To keep Lil Knight Cru's interior in ship shape, there is even a built in vacuum system. The helm on the CABO 45 Express reflects its larger size with more room for both pilot and guests. To insure that both you and your shipmates are comfortable, the windshield comes equipped with an electrically operated center vent as standard equipment. The large three paned windshield comes with large wipers on each pane to insure unobstructed visibility. She also features a custom designed fiberglass console.

Standard ultra leather upholstery and a six speaker sound system from BOSE take the CABO 45 Express well beyond the spartan fishing machine category.

You won't believe what the 45 Express is capable of when chasing down a fish. The 45 turns on a dime, backs down like no other and even in the roughest of seas, stays right where you put her. And, because of her wide beam, modified-V bottom and low center of gravity, the CABO is a fighting platform with unequaled stability in all sea conditions.

"Lil Knight Cru" features all the bells and whistles. The 1100 CR MANS are the preferred engine choice from a speed/efficiency and resale standpoint.

With the Imroned hull and glass coated tower, Lil Knight Cru shows as new. She benefits from the indulgence of an electronics junkie with over $100,000 of upgrades invested.
